A Test of Strength.
Tradition has immortalized one Adar
goma of Grand Canary, who could
Irrestle for two consecutive hours and,
taving been thrown undermost in a
:ertain contest, got his antagonist be
'ween his legs and arms and squeezed
lim so that his bones began to crack.
The native Was subsequently sent as
x prisoner to Spain, where he astound
d the people by his performances.
Dne day in Seville lie was visited by a
rawny youth of La Mancha, who was
mxious to try a bout with him. "My
good friend," said Adargoma, "Ps we
ire going to wrestle together it is only
reasonable that we should begin by
Irinking something."
A large bowl of wine having been
brought, he took this in one hand and
ontinued to address his challenger: "If
with both your arms you can overpow
r one of mine so as to hinder me from
Irinking every drop of this wine we
wvill try our strength together; if not,
Iou may return to your home." The
truggle took place, and Adargoma by
legrees drained the bowl in the coolest
nanner without spilling a drop of the
;Vlne. His one hand was more than a
natch for the other's two.
Why People Stammer.
Stammering depends on a want of
iarmony between the action of the
nuscles (chiefly abdominal)- which ex
e1 air through the larynx and that of
he muscles which guard the orifice
)y which it escapes with that of those
which modulate the sound to the form
>f speech. Over either of the groups
>f muscles by itself a stammerer may
iave as much power as other people,
)ut he cannot harmoniously arrange
:heir conjoint action. Nervotaness is
t frequent cause of stammering. It is
>ossible that the defect in some in
;tances may result from malformation
>f the parts about the back of the
nouth. The fact that stammering
>eople are able to sing their words
)etter than to speak them has been
1sually explained on the supposition
:hat in singing the glottis is kept open
;o that there is less liability to spas
nodic action.
A Bit of Good Advice In Time.
An Antoinette Sterling story relates
:o "The Lost Chord," which she made
amous. The song did not appeal to
ier when the manuscript was sent to
ier by Sullivan. But Sir Joseph Barn

hat time, and in a casual way she re
narked: "By the way, Arthur Sullivan

rou might look at it. Personally, I
on't think much of it and am going
:o return it." Barnby tried it over
here and then, and before he had gone
if through it he stopped and said:
'Going to return It,' did you say? It
s wonderful-an inspiration. Certain
y, tell him you will sing it. It is
ound to 'make' both you and him."
Eme. Sterling always thanked the
ates for bringing Barnby to her house'

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten Yearsof
Suffering.
"1 wi.-ir to say a few words in praise
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy." says Mrs. Mattie
Burge. of M artinsville. Va. "Isuffered
from chronic diarrhoea for ten years
and during that time tried various
medicines without obtaining any per
manent relief. Last summer one of my
children was taken with cholera mor
bus, and I procured a bottle of this
remedy. Only two doses were required
to give her entire relief. I then de
cided to try this medicine myself, and
did not use all of one bottle before I
was well and I have never since been
trouble'd with that complaint. One
cannot say too much in favor of that
wonderful medicine." This remedy is
for sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug
Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop.
Pedicuring an Elephant.
The tools for trimming elephants' feet
are a carpenter's drawknife and a rasp
for the soles and a horseshoer's knife
and sandpaper for the toe nails. The
operator places a beer keg or a strong
box behind one huge hind foot, lightly
prods the thick ankle with his elephant
hook and commands the beast to "Hold
up!" Up comes the mighty foot, slowly
and heavily, but obediently as the vel
vety paw of a kitten. The foot is rest
ed on the box or the keg, where it re
mains while the expert works on it
much as a horseshoer pares the hoof of
a horse. Great slivers of the horny
sole are sliced off until it is cut nearly
to proper thickness, when the rasp is
used to smooth off. Similarly the toe
nails are treated with the knife and the
sandpaper, while the big patient stands
with swinging trunk and an occasional
wag of an ear, too full of satisfaction
for utterance. When the turn of the
forefoot comes, the great beast is made
to lie down on its side and the hoofs
are propped up and treated.--McClure's.
A Bird That Is Feared.
The elster (Pica candata) is a bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. It belongs to the
raven tribe and is about the size of a
dove, with black and white feathers
and long, pointed tail. It builds its
nest in orchards, and its life Is sacred.
If 'it is seen three times in succession
on the same house top in a place re
mote from Its home it is believed to-be
a sure sign of death In that house. If
it flies and gives its peculiar cry the
sick person is sure to die, but if it
does not scream the patient may re
cover. It is better for the sick per
son if the bird does not come near.
No one could be hired to bother these
birds for fear they might seek revenge,
and if by chance one of them should
die it is a sign of bad luck to the owner
of the property where it is found.
The bird is a valuable insect destroyer
and in this way probably more than
compensates for the fear it occasions
among the farmers.
Animals Become Insane.
Insanity in the human subject is sup
posed by some to have no analogue In
the lower animals. Yet many cases,
according to Dr. Sneilson, will lead to
the permanent loss of self control.
Cattle driven from the country through
a crowded town will often work
themselves into a frenzy. Horses
have gone mad on the battlefield. At
Balaklava an Arabian horse turned on
Its attendant, threw him down and,
kneeling on him, attacked him like an
infuriated dog. An instance is related1
of a docile horse suddenly going mad
on a hot day. Everything that came
In its way it seized in Its teeth and
shook as a terrier does a rat A scien
tist of authority even goes so far as to
prove by what appears-to be incontest
able evidence that cats, dogs and
monkeys have been observed to have
delusions very similar to those of in
sane people.-London Globe.

of-ease a few miles from Rtuthin, on
the Wrexham road, the sexes are so
strictly divided that they cannot even
see one another. The building forms a
right angle, in one arm of which the
men sit and the women in the other.
It was built and endowed by a mi
sogynist of. the Stuart period who ob
jected to having his devotions distract
ed by the sight of the hated sex and,
sympathizing with male posterity,
stipulated expressly for this division
In his deed of endowment.-London
Standard. *
The Cuban Workman.
The Cuban workman is a kind hus
band and a fond father of a family
usually of patriarchal size. He lives
simply. At the bedega he buys his
tasajo- (jerked beef), rice, vegetables
and cheap wine, and very savory are
the stews his meek little wife prepares
at the one hearty meal of the day,
about 5:30 p. m. The Cuban eats.but1
twice daily. He is underfed and over
stimulated. He has coffee at 7 a. mn.,
a light breakfast at 11 a. m and eats
his chief meal at twilight.-Southern
Workman.
Rapid Typewriting.
An official stenographer, Deming, at
Albany, years ago reported court pro
ceedings on a typewriter at the rate of
150 and 170 words a minute. He elim
inated the vowels, using consonants
cnly, with a dot to separate words.
His typewriter was incased in glass to
deaden the noise. The paper was run
Into the machine from a roll. Lawyers
could read the notes.
Happiness.
"I am sometimes accused," writes
Sir John Lubbock, "of being too op
timistic. But I have never Ignored nor
denied the troubles and sorrows of life.
I have never said that men are happy,
but only that they might be; that if
they are not so the fault is generally
their own; that most of us throw away
ore happiness than we enjoy."
Too Deserving.
A young village maiden had ebta~ined
the modesty prize. "I suppose then,
my child," said a Parisian lady ad
dressing her, "you are the most modest
girl in the parish?"
"There is not the slightest doubt
about that, mna'am, and it's a down
right shame I didn't get all the other
przes!"-Paris Journal.
A Hard Proposition.
One of the hardest things for a man
to do when he has come home late
from the club and tried to go to bed
without taking off his collar Is to ex
plain to his wife he heard it was a
good cure for sore throat-New York
Press.
The man that makes character makes
foes.-Young.
